Description
Many 17th century European still life paintings revealed how the artists lived, their thoughts or the environment in which they lived, by the objects that surrounded them. Some of these objects possess symbolism, some reflect social, cultural changes in their lives.
In the 21st century I am surrounded by many digital objects in a virtual environment. Google 3D warehouse, Thingiverse are the 3D file share sites that I often visit. I search and collect these virtual objects to create my digital still life compositions in clay. My work evokes our cultural changes associated with current technology. It directly references our accessibility to 3D technology, open source software and online resources. My studio practice reflects these changes. I am an open source, 3D technology enthusiast.
the history of still life paintings are a strong source of inspiration for my digital still life composition. Cotan’s distinctive approach in selecting only seasonal produce, memento mori in 17th cent. Dutch still life paintings, and Morandi’s modern approach to still life paintings are what influence my work.
The specific ceramic materials and processes were developed in response to Morandi’s studio practice. Morandi’s dust accumulated on the objects’ surfaces while white house paint was poured into the transparent glass bottles to create the painterly quality in his work. I translated his dust and white paint to ceramic dust and a plaster liquid mixture that I pour into the plastic 3D printed object molds to produce my work.
